Global Conference Calling The Green Alternative
to Business Travel

Global Conference Calling is the choice for companies requiring collaboration with
participants located overseas.

Enabling international conference call collaboration with clients and associates abroad in the most convenient
and straightforward method possible is the goal.

Is an in-person meeting required?

One of the most obvious reasons to host an international conference call versus holding a physical meeting
are the associated costs and travel time and many other issues in addition to time and money.

The cost differences between Global Conference Calling versus traveling to a
face-to-face meeting.

Toapproximate the cost differences between an international toll free conference call
and in-person meetings, consider the following items:

It's no wonder why more and more businesses believe it is important to opt for green alternatives for any areas
of their business that have green solutions. Reducing business related travel would be on that list.

Overseas Conference Calling is one of those areas that can assist in reducing a company's carbon footprint. It's
a relatively low cost solution where personnel or associates do not need to uproot from their normal day-to-day
office live/work base to attend a meeting that may be on another continent.

Conference call collaboration is the environmentally friendly alternative for business meetings abroad that saves
not only money but reduces the expenditure of multiple other resources.
